The verification feature helps keep the community safe. I like how there are tips and guidance on safe and consensual play along with community events. It also has a lot of customization options which I appreciate. ### 5/5 — Great for Meeting People and Staying Connected *2026-04-26* I’ve had a great experience with Whappz and have made some genuine connections through the app. One thing I really enjoy is seeing events posted and being able to share travel plans or see who’s traveling through my area—it makes it feel much more connected than a typical app. I’m a premium member and feel it’s worth it for the added features. There’s a real community aspect to Whappz that keeps me coming b ### 2/5 — Poor photo review process *2026-02-11* It rejects any photo I upload in which I am fully clothed and just stood there, saying that it is nude content - which it isn’t. Meanwhile, loads of other profiles have pics in just their underpants and these are deemed ‘fine’. Make it make sense. ### 4/5 — A good application for a very narrow community *2025-09-06* I think it does a good job, at least in the city I live, there is a fair amount of people on the application. But of course, you have the issue of people actually following through to meet. That is the difficulty part. I will say the developer is very good about making the application accessible for blind people who use VoiceOver, the screen reader in Apple products. ### 1/5 — Basically Useless *2025-06-16* No one on this app ever seems to be available. I have a job. YOU have a job! Is everyone working 24/7?! I’ve never experienced an app like this before where literally EVERYONE seems to always be “working”. Bad community? Probably. Either way, steer clear. 🫠 ### 1/5 — Basically worthless *2025-05-25* It is really unfortunate that this is apparently the best option for folks interested in spanking. Maybe transphobia has been part of the problem that has made my experience so lackluster, but it is not the entire reason. Paying for premium promises that you will see 6x as many people. I tried it and saw about 3 more people than I had seen before. The messaging is glitchy, and the user volume is basically just not worth it, I guess. The search feature is likewise fairly useless, and the community/events page shows almost nothing, no matter how wide you set the distance parameters. I don’t know how others find this useable. It is functionally worthless, I guess unless you live in New York or LA, because those seem to be the only places that show frequent usage. ### 1/5 — Sick *2025-03-22* This app has some incredibly sick people on here. I mean sick. I’ve been off an on of this app and have quit for good bc the same sicko keeps asking me to be his “daughter slave” and have access to my behind to smell and inspect it. I’m sorry I’m a very accepting person, but if you want to smell another adult’s butt, wipe it, and keep track of the other’s BMs, you have issues only God Himself can cure. If you don’t think that’s weird, then you are just as sick… so maybe you’ll get along with them… ### 3/5 — Needs more filtering options *2025-02-05* As a paying subscriber, I expect to be able to filter by attributes like weight, height, BMI, ethnicity, intensity etc. Most other similar apps offer enhanced filtering for paying users. ### 1/5 — Sick *2025-01-03* This app has some incredibly sick people on here. I mean sick. Take y’all’s meds. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t let you send more than 4 photos *2024-11-13* Unless you pay pay for an account they limit you to 4x pre saved photos to send people. Really annoying. Having pictures is THE most basic feature of a ‘dating’/connecting app and they of course had to be greedy like all these apps are instead of focusing on user experience. Also don’t like that read receipts are on by default. ## Frequently asked questions about Whappz ### What is Whappz?
